THE GOOD DINOSAUR in theaters Thanksgiving 2015-Free Printables, too!

I’m excited for Thanksgiving day to come for two reasons. Reason #1: The delicious food. Reason #2: Disney Pixar is releasing THE GOOD DINOSAUR, which will make for a fun filled family day!

If you haven’t heard about it yet, here is they synopsis.

“The Good Dinosaur” asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? Pixar Animation Studios takes you on an epic journey into the world of dinosaurs where an Apatosaurus named Arlo (voice of Raymond Ochoa) makes an unlikely human friend. While traveling through a harsh and mysterious landscape, Arlo learns the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he is truly capable of.

Check out the trailer!

Super cute, right?

I have a feeling Disney just created another amazing duo and it made me think of other classic pairs like,

Father and Son/Daughter duos…

THE LITTLE MERMAID (1989)

KING TRITON & ARIEL

King Triton might the strictest parent of them all but deep down, you know he loves Ariel and always seeks to protect her. “Humans are dangerous! Do you think I would want to see my youngest daughter snared by some fish eater’s hook

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1991)

MAURICE AND BELLE

Although sometimes a little random, Maurice always seeks to encourage Belle’s creativity and her desire of knowledge. “My daughter, ‘odd’? Huh, where were you getting an idea like that?”

THE LION KING (1994)

MUFASA & SIMBA

There has been no better and wiser father than Mufasa who gave up his life to protect his son. “Simba, let me tell you something my father told me. Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars. So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I.”

POCAHONTAS (1995)

CHIEF POWHATAN & POCAHONTAS

Chief only wants the best for Pocahontas and always protected her. “My daughter speaks with a wisdom beyond her years. We have all come here with anger in our hearts but she comes with courage and understanding. From this day forward if there is to be more killing it will not start with me.”

MULAN (1998)

FA ZHOU & MULAN

Fa Zhou would have fought for China in order to save and honor his family, because of those values, Mulan was able to do the same. “The greatest gift and honor is having you for a daughter.”

FINDING NEMO (2003)

MARLIN & NEMO

Perhaps the most adventurous of all parents, crossed the entire ocean to find his little boy, Marlin defied all odds to find Nemo. “I promise I’ll never let anything happen to you, Nemo”

and,

lovable duos from Pixar we have grown to adore. Do you recognize these cave paintings?
